“I don’t have anything personal against Cassandra, I just want to get out there and do what I plan to do,” Shaw said. ”I really want to get into public service, community service. I’m married, I have a family , so I really want to represent families like mine in the community -- growing families, young families, people who are new to the community.
Shaw works as a client finance manager for a relocation company, a job she has had for nearly 20 years. When asked what inspired him to run, Robinson, of Claymore Boulevard, said, “I’ve been living in the city for 18 years and in those 18 years I’ve seen kind of a disconnect from Richmond Heights council, so I spoke with a few residents around me and they thought we might need a new voice and maybe somebody that can give us a little more sound from where we’re at.”
“As councilman, I’m going to work as hard as I can with Dr. Willis and the board of education to see what we can do on our part to improve the situation. Because what we now have is a two-time, back-to-back basketball program. That’s great, but it’s a start.
